(using Python and the Flask Library)
An oAuth integration allows you to have an application "do stuff on your behalf".
This is a topic that can be quite complex to understand. For that reason I created this Python code to make it as easy as possible to understand.
What happens in when you run this code?
Step 1
First you open the application that can only say "hello world". Click the authenticate link.
Step 2
After successful authentication on the Webex platform (with or without SSO integration), you have to confirm that application XYZ is allowed to do things on your behalf.
Step 3
Now the application can, on your behalf, get your details (name, email address, etc).
How does oAuth work?
Here's a single slide that I created as part of an extensive oAuth presentation. (Let me know if I should publish that presentation on Youtube!)
Details, code & setup on Github

QUESTION: Should I publish my oAuth explanation videos on Youtube?
Just leave a comment.
